[CentOS] Firefox and Chrome - dicking about with my volume.
I have Centos 7 installed on my laptop which works perfectly fine. I use a variety of music apps including VLS, mplayer and squeezelite. They all work fine, and using the KDE mixer app I have the levels set just as I like them. Why is it then that if i start up either Firefox or Chrome, whichever I start up first creates a new sound device which appears in the mixer, and then changes my master volume level. Firstly, why the hell does a web browser have to create a new sound device, and why the hell does it alter the master volume? Secondly, can anyone tell me how to take back control of my own music volume, and prevent both programs from messing with it? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You finally set me straight. All works, and other local user abilities stay intact (user can power of or reboot machine, the same can be done from gdm login screen).

People on the web talk about a "context" menu that opens if you use some kind of weird combination of right mouse-click and Alt, Windows key, Ctrl, left click, Alt Gr or whatever, but there seems to be no way to make that happen on CentOS. I found an answer of sorts in https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=47957 - In straight Gnome Shell -- CentOS 7 defaults to a modified version using extensions -- the panel *is* locked. Visit extensions.gnome.org to see if something there is useful. - but I don't think I quite understand it. I mean, the ability to add extensions is nice, but if the panel is locked, isn't an "unlock" function what I should be looking for? This doesn't quite sound like an "extension". Or is the actual menu everyone talks about itself an extension? If that's the case, surely isn't there some other way to make the changes? If the standard panel allows stuff to be added, there must be a standard way to do it, right? Also, if I do need extensions, I'd prefer to install it via the package manager system rather than through a special web interface... Does anyone know more about this? Any help would be appreciated. - Except, that is, I don't really need anyone to suggest switching to MAME or some other alternative desktop. I might end up doing just that, but it really bugs me that I can't get functionality that's supposed to be there to work... - Toralf ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Backup Suggestion on C7
Hi Martin, this is the off-site backup. Each server is backupped also in farm. Il 13/10/2016 22:24, J Martin Rushton ha scritto: I'm not a bacula expert, but have had 30+ years in the industry doing backups. I'm a little concerned about what you are planning. As I understand it you are going to be keeping just one copy of each machine on a disk attached to the server. This will help if you loose the running disks (though it is hardly backup in depth), but what happens if you loose the server due to fire, flood, electrical problems, theft or even plain old dropping it? In general you should aim for multiple backup copies; are you willing to bet the company's future on one untried copy? You should ensure that the backup copies are held preferably off site, failing that in a separate building, or else in a secure fireproof strongbox. Start by assuming you come into work one day to find the building burnt out and collapsed. Now work out how to rebuild your system on new kit on another site and you'll find that you define your backup needs. Regards, Martin On 12/10/16 12:54, Alessandro Baggi wrote: Hi list, I'm building a backup server for 3 hosts (1 workstation, 2 server). I will use bacula to perform backups. The backup is performed on disks (2 x 3TB on mdraid mirror) and for each hosts I've created a logical volume with related size. This 3 hosts have different data size with different disk change rate. Each host must have a limited sized resource and a reserved space. If a server needs more space to perform backup, It must be enabled and provisioned. My first solution was put each host pools on different logical volumes, like: host1 -> lv1 host2 -> lv2 host3 -> lv3 and store pools/volumes on specified storage daemon that uses a specified device for each different hosts. host1 -> storage1 -> device_lv1 host2 -> storage2 -> device_lv2 host3 -> storage3 -> device_lv3 Unfortunately, I can't define on bacula-sd.conf multiple storage definition but only multiple devices. To use different storage I must run 3 bacula-sd on same host (I can?), run a bacula-sd on a vm/host. Ah, I must use only one physical server. With one single machine and the current state I can't use multiple storage daemons. There are other ways to store host volumes on different devices? My second solution was, use only one storage daemon (on the same host) with a single device LVM over mdraid, create pool for each hosts and limit the size for each volumes on related pool. Suggestions?

[CentOS] C7 and WOL
Hi list, I've encountered a problem with wol. I'm not new to this but this time I found unwanted behaviuor. I'm triyng to wol another c7 machine. When I run ether-wake @mac the system is started. When I shutdown the system after 3 seconds it start again and again and again. To block this wol-loop I must disable wol on uefi or shutdown the switch. I don't know what check. Any suggestions?

Valeri Be aware that the file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy is not a configfile and will be silently overwritten when systemd is upgraded. In earlier releases of PolicyLit local changes were made in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority, but I don't know if that approach still works. -- Liam ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
